I think I might be missing your point. Instead of calling super().foo() why not use explicit super(self.__class__, self).foo()? Afaik super uses some runtime binding to set the parameters so if one's skipping that execution due to monkey patching then one has to use explicit form.

Because `@extend` should work for the middle of an inheritance hierarchy too, not just the tips:

  class Base:
      def foo(self):
          print('base')

  class Mid(Base):
      def foo(self):
          print('mid')
          super(self.__class__, self).foo()

  class Derived(Mid):
      def foo(self):
          print('derived')
          super(self.__class__, self).foo()

  Derived().foo()
